Geocache Description:

An urban cache to celebrate Penetang's heritage. High muggle area, stealth required! Bring your own writing implement.

St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church




St. Ann’s, built from 1886 to 1902, overlooks Penetanguishene and its harbour. It is constructed of rough-finished cut fieldstone and rock-faced granite, and trimmed with red Credit Valley stone and white Nottawasaga sandstone. On the east and west façades, round-headed stained-glass windows are surrounded by column supports. In 1909, three bells cast in France were installed.

The cornerstone of the present church was laid in 1886; however, due to its enormous size and cost, the church remained unfinished until 1902. It is the first shrine built in memory of the Canadian Martyrs. The style is late Romanesque, and the church is sometimes referred to as "The Cathedral of the North".
